Darrel Donaldson

Darrel Donaldson serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of procurement actions within a federal environmental services division. His role centers on ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while delivering mission-critical waste management solutions. He routinely handles competitive and set-aside acquisitions for hazardous waste treatment and disposal services, coordinating with technical evaluators, legal advisors, and program managers to align contracting strategies with environmental compliance objectives. His acquisitions are predominantly service-based, requiring stringent performance metrics and regulatory adherence under EPA and DOT guidelines. While specific contractor names are not disclosed in available records, Donaldson maintains a consistent procurement pattern characterized by engagement with qualified environmental service providers capable of handling regulated hazardous materials. His working relationships emphasize vendor reliability, regulatory expertise, and operational scalability, fostering long-term partnerships with firms possessing proven experience in treatment, storage, and disposal (TSD) operations. He prioritizes vendors with demonstrated compliance histories and robust environmental management systems. Donaldson exhibits a balanced commitment to small business participation, with approximately half of his acquisitions structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to expand opportunities for small businesses in the environmental services sector, without reliance on other socioeconomic programs such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. His approach supports broad-based small business development while maintaining competitive integrity and mission readiness. His procurement focus is exclusively concentrated on NAICS 562211—Hazardous Waste Treatment and Disposal—indicating deep specialization in the management of regulated hazardous substances. He procures services including incineration, chemical treatment, landfill disposal, and transportation of hazardous materials, requiring contractors to maintain RCRA permits and demonstrate technical proficiency in waste characterization and containment. His expertise lies in evaluating technical proposals for compliance with federal environmental standards and ensuring contract performance aligns with public health and safety mandates.
